German PV materials manufacturer Heraeus has long had a reputation for its high-quality solar products, and now it has a fresh vote of confidence from Chinese PV manufacturer Jinko Solar, who has elected to use Heraeus silver paste for its new high-efficiency cells. The move is part of a lon-term strategic cooperation between the two PV heavyweights.

Jinko Solar is using Heraeus new front-side silver paste, the SOL9631J Series, for the cells, as it is set to raise their conversion efficiency by over 0.1%. A product that was developed with solar cell manufacturing in mind.

Heraeus constantly innovates our products and technologies, including customized photovoltaic products and services for Jinko Solar, to enable its next generation of products to advance further, commented Heraeus Photovoltaics President Andreas Liebheit. We are convinced that this collaboration with our strategic partner Jinko Solar opens up new prospects for Heraeus customized products in the photovoltaic industry.

Within the companys press release, Heraeus pointed to superior electrical conductivity and fine-line printing for the increase in conversion efficiency. The company also points to the pastes suitability for high-speed printing.

Through our highly successful partnership, Jinko Solar and Heraeus have been able to jointly develop this new generation of Heraeus silver metallization paste and successfully integrate it into Jinko Solars mass production process, thereby greatly improving the conversion efficiency of their solar cells, said Jinko Solar CEO Chen Kangping. We are looking forward to creating further achievements with our strategic partners Heraeus in the future.
